Dear WRG, and especially Jo Hogle: In the list of NE Region Marriages published by Jo back last June, I have noted that the marriage of Benjamin Whitney and Mary Poor is given as having taken place in York, ME on 11 Apr 1695. Since both the Framingham and Marlborough, MA, Vital Records shows that they were married in Marlborough on 13 Apr 1696, with both these showing Benjamin as being "of Framingham," I wonder if Jo can dig up the CD again and find the source cited for the York marriage almost exactly a year earlier? While doing so, Jo, will you also dig out the sources for the marriage of Anna Whitney to Silas Haynes on 3 Nov 1768 in Fairfield, Fairfield, CT, and the one of Anna Whitney to Ebenezer Roud in Woodstock, Windham, CT on 11 Dec 1733? Thanks. Yours for eventually having a President. (Bumper sticker seen in Cleveland yesterday: "If you can read this you are not from Palm Beach County" Allan E. Green

This date appears in Pierce, p. 26, but not the York, ME, location. This date and the Marlborough location appear in Henry Austin Whitney, "The Descendants of John and Elinor Whitney, of Watertown, Mass.," _NEHGR_, vol. XI (1857), p. 117. Pretty clearly York is an error. Most likely the date is also an error. >While doing so, Jo, will you also dig out the sources for the marriage of >Anna Whitney to Silas Haynes on 3 Nov 1768 in Fairfield, Fairfield, CT, and >the one of Anna Whitney to Ebenezer Roud in Woodstock, Windham, CT on 11 Dec >1733?
